The Retrievers improved to 5-0-0 on the season and won in their
first road game of the campaign. Radford slipped to 1-2-1.

UMBC, which entered the game tied for third in the nation in
goals scored, has registered 16 goals in its first five
contests.

Ho opened the scoring in the 19th minute, picking up
a 50/50 ball 45 yards away from goal. He beat a trio of Radford
defenders on the right side, broke in on goal and beat RU netminder
Dane Wilson with a low shot inside the far post.

But the hosts equalized the score less than two minutes later as
Jamie Summers scored his first goal of the season.

The game went to the half knotted at 1-1, but Ho cashed in on
the game-winner just 110 seconds into the second half. Senior
forward Pete Caringi III (Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall) played a
through pass from the center of the field to junior midfielder
Geaton Caltabiano (Lothian, Md./Mount St. Joseph) on the left side.
Caltabiano one-timed a cross to towards the right post and Ho
knocked it into an unguarded net from point-blank range.

UMBC junior back Oumar Ballo (Baltimore, Md./Archbishop Curley)
scored his first career goal off a corner kick to extend the
visitors' lead in the 67th minute. Caltabiano sent the corner
toward the far right post and Ballo headed it just under the
crossbar on the near side.

Senior midfielder Kadeem Dacres completed the surge and gave
UMBC its first four-goal output of the season. Dacres corralled a
loose ball inside the center circle and drove right, dodging
several Highlander defenders, before burying his second goal of the
season inside the left post.

UMBC outshot Radford, 17-5 ,and amassed 11 corner kicks in 90
minutes. Retriever senior goalkeeper Phil Saunders (Perry Hall,
Md./Perry Hall) recorded the win, but did not make a save in
the contest. Wilson went the distance in net for RU and was
credited with four saves.

The Retrievers have now gone 14 consecutive games without a loss
(11-0-3) dating back to last season.

UMBC returns home to welcome Navy to Retriever Soccer Park on
Tuesday evening.

Notes: Ho entered the contest with only one career goal, but now
has seven points (2-3-7) on the season,.. Caltabiano recorded two
assists in the game, matching his season high registered in the
opener versus Seattle… UMBC evened the series with Radford
at 5-5-1.
